Scottish Executive

Finance

Alex Neil (Central Scotland) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive how many citizens in Glasgow are liable to pay council tax liability and what is the number who qualify for full rebate.

Mr Jack McConnell: This information is not held by the Scottish Executive.

Finance

Mr Kenneth Gibson (Glasgow) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive which Scottish local authorities have implemented a formal housing and council tax anti-fraud policy and which have adopted the Department of Social Security verification framework.

Mr Jack McConnell: This information is not held by the Scottish Executive. The implementation of a formal housing and council tax anti-fraud policy or the adoption of the Department of Social Security (DSS) verification framework is a matter for individual councils to pursue.

Finance

Johann Lamont (Glasgow Pollok) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive what proposals are being made to the European Commission for Objective 2 coverage in Scotland under the new round of European Structural Funds.

Mr Jack McConnell: Scottish Executive Ministers and the UK Government have worked closely together to determine the areas to be proposed for Objective 2 eligibility. Discussions have been held with local authorities from the most affected areas of Scotland to ensure that their local priorities are taken into careful consideration. Our approach is designed to target the areas of greatest need. The Executive’s proposals for Scotland now form part of the UK Government’s submission to the European Commission, which now has to reach a decision on the final content of the map.

  The proposals represent a good outcome for Scotland – some 40% of the Scottish population will continue to live in areas eligible for Objective 2 assistance, areas which are suffering from industrial restructuring, urban deprivation, rural decline and fisheries dependence. They are also a useful complement to the Assisted Areas map, which was published in the summer and is currently being considered by the Commission.

  The following tables give the detail of the proposals. Table A shows population coverage and percentage coverage by Local Authority area, and Table B contains a full list of the wards proposed for Objective 2 eligibility.

Health

Fergus Ewing (Inverness East, Nairn and Lochaber) (SNP): To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will re-examine the scientific or other evidence on which the present biological limits of amnesic shellfish poisoning are based in order to determine whether these limits may safely be lowered.

Susan Deacon: The action limit for ASP is set by the EU. The maximum permitted toxin level is set out in EU Directive (97/61/EC) which came into force on 29 October 1997. There are currently no proposals to change the limit.

Justice

Hugh Henry (Paisley South) (Lab): To ask the Scottish Executive what steps it will take to monitor the use of Anti Social Behaviour Orders and how it will encourage standard implementation across Scotland.

Mr Jim Wallace: Guidance on Anti-Social Behaviour Orders was issued by the Scottish Office in March 1999. Local authorities are however expected to develop the use of ASBOs in the light of local circumstances. Arrangements are being put in place to monitor local authorities’ use of ASBOs.

Programme for Government

Miss Annabel Goldie (West of Scotland) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-1408 by Mr Jack McConnell on 21 September 1999, how many copies of Making it Work: A Programme for Government have been sold to date at the recommended price of £4.95.

Mr Jack McConnell: As at 1 October approximately 90 copies of Making it Work: A Programme for Government had been sold through The Stationery Office outlets.

Sport

Mr Brian Monteith (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Con): To ask the Scottish Executive what the projected lottery funding is for the Scottish Sports Council and the Scottish Arts Council for the next three years.

Mr Sam Galbraith: I attach a table which shows the projected lottery funding for  sportscotland (formerly known as the Scottish Sports Council) and the Scottish Arts Council for the next three years .  Sportscotland’s provisional allocation is lower than that of the Scottish Arts Council because of the establishment of UK Sport as a lottery distributor from 1 July 1999.
